Son Of God

CRITICAL: the Tanakh itself already uses ‘sons of God’ for two established senses - angelic beings (Genesis 6:2, Job 1:6) and Israel corporately (Exodus 4:22, ‘Israel is my firstborn son’) - never for an individual person sharing God’s own essence. A reader’s existing scriptural categories must be explicitly set aside to introduce this third, ontological sense; it cannot be assumed to map automatically onto either prior usage.
